Amateur Party-Truncheons in the Manor is shipping now!

We are stoked to say that Amateur Party's new LP Truncheons in the Manor is shipping out now! You can order the record from the Rorschach Store and stream the whole record on Punknews.org or our Bandcamp. Here is a blurb about the LP:

Truncheons in the Manor is the first Lp by Philadelphia's Amateur Party in 3 years and their first full length ever. The band recorded 10 tracks with drummer Steve Roche between 2009-2010 to make this opus of an album. The band has an all-star line up of Philadelphia musicians that have played in Armalite, Off Minor, Kill the Man Who Questions and more but really stands on its own without a resume. Amateur Party Similar to their style reminiscent of Reggae Punk/Post Punk on their previous releases the band develops their sound even further to maker their best and most cohesive recording to date. Fans of The Jam, Minutemen, Ted Leo, and Late 80's Dischord bands take note, this record fits in perfectly with those of an older punk rock sound.

The final pressing numbers ended up being a little different than planed with 475 copies total, 108 on Clear and 367 on Black. This record is available in all Richmond record stores for under $10. Other stores/distros can order this directly from No Idea, ILC, or us directly!
